Certain good

August 14, 2020 | 40 comments

There’s a lot of uncertainty circulating in public consciousness these days about what to expect next. People worry about the air they breathe, the people they come into contact with, the future of the economy, who is going to be elected into political office, and more. To stay healthy and happy, it’s important to not let other’s people’s uncertainty become your burden and distress.

Life is predictable good!

We do not live in a universe of chance, risk, and uncertainty. We live in a universe of predictable good where God is in control causing good things to happen through divine law.

Jesus Christ demonstrated these spiritual laws in his ministry.

When he was faced with illness, he reversed it with health. When he faced lack, he reversed it with supply. When he faced turbulence and turmoil, he reversed it with peace and calm. He reversed conditions of material uncertainty with spiritual certainty.

We can do the same!

We can take the certainty of God’s omnipresence with us wherever we walk, commute or travel and demonstrate that we are safe and protected in God’s atmosphere of Love divine.

We can rely on the certainty of God’s abundance to pay bills and meet family needs.

We can prove health to be a state of Mind and take certain health with us wherever we go.

There isn’t anything uncertain about God’s reign and rule. It’s predictable. It’s fixed. It’s certain. You can live by it.

No more uncertainty for you!

    1. Thank you Evan for sharing your inspired thoughts about God being our source of supply, health and healing.

  2. Thank you so much for emphasizing what we need to focus on every day. What a Blessing to know these truths. <3 <3

  4. Thank you Evan, your healing message is healing all Now! ” in Him we live and move and have our being”. We are all so blessed.

  5. Class notes.
    MBE “it is more important to know there is no personality then it is to know there is no disease.”

    The world is ripe with personality screaming.

    If anyone knows where to find this quote I’d appreciate knowing where it is.
    A friend said a practitioner told them the
    same quote.

  6. I should have added, and each personality has a different theory on the virus and how to stop it,
    and treat it.

    It is personality on display.

  7. My wife would be upset with me, but just for fun and because of the topic I have to share this concept. there are 5 states of certainty

    1. I know that I know. Certainty
    2. I know that I don’t know. certain ignorance
    3. I don’t know that I don’t know. pure ignorance
    4. I don’t know that I know. Forgotten knowledge (certainty)
    5. I think I know but I really don’t. blind belief (has nothing to do with faith) this is the worse state of certainty because of its potential miscalculations and actions.

    Why do I bring this up. Well true faith is reliance on Spiritual qualities given to mankind by the Immortality of Spiritual Being as Mary Baker Eddy discovered it in the relationship of of human life to the divine life. The relationship of Life, Truth, Love, Mind, Principle, Spirit, Soul which can only bring out the harmony of existence is the essence of true certainty and knowledge the substance of faith.

    I hope this is taken in the vain that it is given as an expression of love and honest sharing.

  8. When I taught elementary school, the Lottery was started in California to “help” education. Not believing in “ chance,” I chose not to purchase lottery tickets! In those days, $5 was a substantial amount of money. The children would ask if I’d won any money with the lottery. I assured them, I had. How much, they’d ask? Well, $260 each & every year. Because I don’t buy a ticket each week & 6th graders can multiply $5 x 52…
    Thank you, Josef for the 5 certainties.
    Evan, you take care of sharing God’s good ideas, each & every day.
    I’m truly blessed…and rich in having The Comforter by MBE.

  9. Here’s another quote I once heard on “personality”…not to look on anyone’s personality or corporeality as either good or bad.

    Has anyone else seen or heard that. I’d love to have a reference for it.
    Possibly in a biography.

      1. Thanks another great article…shows us how to correct our own thinking about the appearance of evil personalities, especially in politics.

  10. From Hymn 136, Heavenward, Written by Violet Hay.
    Excerpt. verse 3
    I climb, with joy… the heights of Mind, To soar o’er time and space; I yet shall know as I am known
    And see Thee face to face,
    Till time and space and fear are naught My quest shall never cease, Thy presence ever goes with me, And Thou dost give me peace.

    Violet was a student of Mrs. Eddy. Sent to organize First Church of London, which she did. Then she went on to Johannesburg South Africa and did the same work. Her influence is still in the movement. She also wrote Hymn 64 one of the most favorite.
    This is how to “know”.. As we are known. Thank you very much. Have a lovely weekend.

  11. This is so helpful in declaring what is Certain in such a seeming uncertain climate of fear, disrespect of others and property, lawlessness, misinformation, lies, and such errors can seem overwhelming sometimes.
    I love your statement of fact, Evan, that “God is in control causing good things to happen through Divine law…Jesus demonstrated these Spiritual laws…”
    There seems to be so much chaotic anarchy in certain areas of late, where this spiritual law and order seems missing and the new way of letting it continue can be very disturbing if these disruptions are not corrected, being accepting of this disharmony.
    These spiritual thoughts are so helpful to counteract this fear. I love, especially, “There isn’t anything uncertain about God’s reign and rule”.

    1. Dear Carol, I’m so very grateful for the CSMonitor as its unbiased news always leaves me feeling God’s love and uplift. His certain goodness is made so evident through Eddy’s last major revelation “to bless all mankind”. Hallelujah!! I highly recommend their podcast series “Perception Gaps”–so enlightening and full of good information.

  12. Personality and Paper Dolls
    March 1, 2011 Journal has the quote I mentioned.
    A friend found it. Thanks.
    We don’t know how to attach.

  13. This is great this morning. I love when there are so many suggested articles to print out and read. Thanks everyone. Have a wonderful weekend.

  14. Dear Evan- not only are your comment, observations filled with healing, comforting and challenging thoughts but they challenge your readers to greater depths of understand and selfless sharing- even in the possible consequence of Joseph’s wife’s ire!! I love the article sharing for deeper insight and understanding!! Much love, joy and inspiration to
    Evan and all the Spiritview family!!

  15. Many thanks to Angie and Anne for the links to such inspiring articles. I need all the help I can get and these are certainly helpful along with this blog and all of the comments. Much appreciated!!!

  16. Dear M and Betsy and anyone else interested~~ here are a few more references concerning personality, personal sense which include some of the wording you were perhaps looking for.
    In Retrospection and Introspection page 73 there is an article titled Personality. On page 74:8 MBE writes” My own personal corporeality afflicteth me not wittingly; for I desire never to think of it, and it cannot think of me.”
    In Miscellaneous Writings page 308: 32 “I earnestly advise all Christian Scientists to remove from their observation or study the personal sense of any one, and not to dwell in thought upon their own or other’s corporeality, either as good or bad.
    And finally, also in Miscellaneous Writings page 119:10 “The nature of the individual, more stubborn than the circumstance, will always be found arguing for itself, ~~its habits, tastes, and indulgences.’.
    Thanks everyone for all the excellent comments and articles.

  17. “In atmosphere of Love divine we live and move and breath”. This gives me a sense of peace and being in God’s Love.
    Thank you Evan for your SpiritView up here which gives me a wonderful certainty and conviction of God’s everpresent help in any situation where it is needed. God is always with us! Am also thankful for all the comments and links given here so lovingly!

  18. Uta, u are a wonder being English is your 2nd language!
    I love your quote: In atmosphere of Love divine…”
    Thank you, all-ways…

    1. Hi Shirley, thanks. Love the English.language very much. I was in England several times and in my workplace I used English., too.
      The verse is a hymn out of our CS hymnal. ♡

  19. Fixed by Divine Principle , certainty of unerring direction and action leading to predictable expectancy of good outcome when trust in God’s unfoldment revealing His good will for us is always done as this is the manner of His Perfect Love for His Creation and each of us. God is the author of Man (life and being) and His Universe.
